Samsung News & Articles

After the big Spring launches comes the bragging and the competitive advertising. Samsung is seeing rocketing sales, and Microsoft is using Siri to have a dig at Apple's iPad with its own Windows 8 tablets. 

South Korean mega-vendor Samsung keeps churning out the devices to cover every conceivable base and user need, with the new Mega 6.3" screen phablet joining a waterproof S4 model, with an S4 mini confirmed on the way. 

Photos and video are so easy to shoot on phones, it is easy to overlook the quality differences, and few of us shoot enough video across devices to compare the results. So, Nokia is taking its message to the streets (well, YouTube) with direct comparisons against rival models.

There doesn't seem to be much of a recession in the tablet space. According to figures just released by International Data Corporation growth in the market is estimated to be 142% year-on-year with Microsoft climbing into fifth position on the back of Surface.

Samsung is keeping its broad, every-man, appeal going by announcing a new, low-cost, Galaxy Tab device. But back at base, the company is working hard on new 8" and 11" tablets, along with a possible new Nexus 11 for Google. 

Europeans and Canadians prepare to welcome the first "proper" BlackBerry 10 device, while America gets ready to buy the new Galaxy S4 by the million, not letting some less-than-stellar review comments get in the way. 

Apple will announce smartphone and tablet sales today that almost any other company (bar Samsung) would be proud of. But, since Apple has built itself and its image up to such heights, they are almost inevitably going to be viewed as a failure by the market. 

Is a 5-inch smartphone not enough for you? Do you have linebacker-sized hands that need more screen space, but can't be bothered with a mobile-enabled proper tablet? Another new off-shoot of the Galaxy range is coming from Samsung to answer this particular niche in the market. 

 Having scooped the market with the BlackBerry Z10, AT&T claims to be at it again, looking to sign up the first pre-orders for Samsung's hotly-anticipated next superphone, at a price. Meanwhile Best Buy stores will soon be decked out in Samsung colors with new mini-stores to help sell the new phone. 

 While business focuses on big data, the consumer-connected Internet is aiming smaller and smaller, with data presented on smart watches supposed to be the next big thing. But where could we see true innovation, and not just cloning of phone features?

Enterprise technology vendor HP is teaming up with mobile device provider Samsung to offer HP print functionality within the new Samsung Galaxy S 4 smartphone.

 At its New York event, Samsung has just unveiled its next class-leading smartphone, the Galaxy S4 packing in new hardware updates and software features to make it your life companion. 

  With the big show just hours away, the usual suspects are leaking high quality images and final specifications of Samsung's new high-end smartphone, can the hosts provide some magical twist to wow the crowds?

  While the use of a child might suggest it is launching some Nintendo-like product, Samsung is hopefully just trying to channel our inner child with its latest teaser for this week's Galaxy S4 launch event. 

Samsung is the new Apple. At least until the hype machine builds up for the next iPhone. For now, Samsung is ramping up for its March 14 debut of the next must have superphone, the Galaxy S4.
